Interesting. My wife complained she couldn’t hear / understand the lyrics, and another companion was convinced she was singing in Danish. I struggle to make them out on her cd’s. Doesn’t bother me, her voice is an […]

Citizen Of Glass is a good starting point. 10 years old now though.

Going to see her here in Brisbane in 3 weeks. I will report back.

Wasn’t me wot wrote it, honest…

Lived there for 14 years (82-96) never met some many clebs, K Waterhouse, A Nightingale, C Eubank, C Sensible (lived in Bath Street) B Gillespie, Theatre Of Hate bloke etc. Herbie Flowers played every Sunday […]

Very sad news. Got Another Love Song off the shelf & found a ticket stub inside from their show in Brisbane in 2005 that I’d completely forgotten I’d attended. Good band.

Who are you Sir ? Bobby Charlton, Denis Law’s in the wash. Brilliant !

I recently started playing Walking Football as a segue into retirement, it’s mixed, some of the blokes are in their 70’s, quite good fun, and I’m unlikely to get injured I thought. Second week in I got violently […]

I suppose they’re both effectively tribute bands these days…

Saw them in 1981 at the Roadmender in Northampton, support band was Section 25, my band did a few gigs supporting Section 25 around that time, nice blokes. I’ve seen NO a few times since, most notably at the […]

Yes I saw him on that tour. The good people of Leicester didn’t really ‘get it’ with his act it must be said, despite Spanish Stroll being in the charts…

The Gabba (Brisbane) used to allow a carton (24 stubbies) per person to be brought in to the ground, blokes would also get their girlfriends to bring a carton in to ensure they didn’t run out. That’s how the pig […]

I saw them in Brisbane last week, and thought they were brilliant. I particularly liked, you can see it in the NZ vid above, how they had a guy on stage filming with a tiny camera, and it was then displayed on the […]

I have an electronic subscription to PE here in Oz via Pocketmags. It’s the same price as the printed version, and you basically get a pdf of the mag. Usually I can access it the day after the printed version is […]

Sincere apologies V V, I have posted yours, so so sorry for the delay. Yours has arrived, however, it remains unopened for 2 reasons. 1. I couldn’t open it before I’d made you mine lest I was influenced by your […]

Leicester. Left to go uni in Brighton in 1982, where I stayed for 14 years. Loved it. By chance met a bloke in the Cross Keys in Covent Garden (See ‘Pinball’ by Brian Protheroe) who offered me a job 30 years ago […]

Herbie used to play double bass in the Sussex Yeoman, a tiny pub in Brighton, every Sunday evening jamming with a couple of different music students each week in the mid 90’s. I think he lived in Ditchling, he […]

I’m in
